I fail to see the point of doing faux C64 stuff, but it's rarely done as well as this. Would love this on a real C64.

Some nice ideas in there, like the greetings part. Still, the concept is...weird. ;-)

Not bad, nice design and all, but what Preacher and Kylearan said about the concept. Now go do it on a C64 :)

What Preacher said. So piggy.
This is what a demo by Camelot and Offence would look like. Pretty damn cool!

And heh, it seems that this demo could be done on a real C64, which was most likely the point. And well, people complaining about faux C64 stuff. What about faux Amiga stuff? I don't see anyone complaining about that.

All that matters is a demo being good, code-wise or design-wise. This demo is really well done IMO and deserves a thumbs up!

Hope to see more of your work!

Not too bad but doesn't work in Firefox and I do not want to install Chrome just to watch "C64" stuff.


TomoAlien: As for "no one complains about faux Amiga stuff", you couldn't be more wrong!

@TomoAlien

Direct quote from the demo: "However, any demo coder will spot a lot that is impossible on a C64 while being incredibly easy on a modern computer". So no, it wasn't meant to be a something that could be done on a real c64.

sheez.. this is even more pointless than most other releases.
The c64 portion of this demo is just a question of art style. The target platform is irrelevant. Having said that, good job!
rulez added on the 2015-01-23 16:33:12 by xTr1m xTr1m
And NO prod is pointless. People can make and release how many demos they want, however they want. Demos don't serve a purpose, except when participating as entries in compos. Which this one doesn't.

Wat.

I doubt they would use 1980s linkers and old 1990s effects with borrowed music and graphics from the 2000s and call it a day.

This is a fan product. It creepily (and in many ways fairly accurately) emulates demos from a distinct platform that the author happens to love. Nothing wrong with that and even somewhat remarkable to go to that length, but also a bit shallow and fanservice-y for my liking. But at least it wasn't the 100th remake of some random part in Second Reality. Bonus points for that. ;)

Thank you for all the feedback, both positive and critical.
I made this demo because I love the C64 demos. I grew up with them. I have no other knowledge than some basic JavaScript and this is my first demo on pouet. As said in the credits, I'm sorry if I offended any scener with this, I know that this is in no way a technical accomplishment. It was just a wonderful experience for me to create something I like so much on my own.
added on the 2015-01-23 17:53:42 by awsm awsm
This would have been better with just the tube video and no mention about javascript, maybe even showing it running in a CRT monitor with a C64 prop in front of the monitor. As some sort of comment on the emulator and youtube scenes. Look, here's a C64 and here's stuff being shown on a CRT, and listen to the retroish music too.

I like! Am always a sucker for some good tunes and nice visuals. Sure the C64 is 'just' a stylistic choice here but it works well!

This would rock as a DTV demo if youre gonna port it. Use the extra colors for some visual oomph.
rulez added on the 2015-01-23 23:00:56 by jmph jmph
has its charm, Ilike especially how faithful it is to the original in both looks & that most of it would be possible. and if you're this good in JS, c64 asm is really very simple, and the forums are full of coders willing to help out ;Ö

Thumb up for nice attitude and the demo also was charmful at times. I'd also encourage to make (probably something much smaller at first) something with the real thing.

I'm one of those who are usually irked by tributes to old systems on modern platforms. This one gets the thumb because it looks mostly plausible with regards to the limitations of the C64, and (for the most part) it is not a bag of recycled cliches that rely heavily on viewer nostalgia to work. It's a pretty original demo by its own merit.

Now let's see something on the real machine in the future :).

Speaking as someone who's been following the JS scene for a while and getting annoyed at how much of it consists of faux-retro tributes... this is actually pretty damn good! Too often, retro styling is used as a crutch to avoid coming up with any original ideas (a spinning cube in javascript is *meh*, but a low-res spinning cube in javascript is like *totally retro hipster awesome*) but that's not the case here - there are lots of neat twists on effects, and well-done pixel art.

Great work there.
rulez added on the 2015-01-24 15:59:52 by algorithm algorithm
What gasman and alpha c said. I'm withholding my thumb though due to non-original music, scroller overuse and the non-trackmo style. I have to say though I still enjoyed this more than the similarly styled Offence's demos.
added on the 2015-01-24 16:05:21 by noby noby
You're seriously making a point of scroller overuse given the context of this release? :)

Worst thing they did to me was walking out of the party hall for a beer until that drag of a C64 compo was finally over.

But as I said earlier, their game has improved massively the past years.

plek: we upgraded that with a 'everytime you see a scroller, you need a big sip'-drinking game. makes c64 demo compos a lot more fun :)

awsm: welcome to Pouet :) and grats on your first release (I think?)

I don't know you and no, I haven't read the entire scrolltexts to check, but it seems credits are missing for the gfx and music. It's a demoscene thing, you just put a text file in the archive so that it's known that you have permission from authors for any material not made by you or other sceners involved in the project.

As for the guys asking you to "make a C64 demo then"... well: if you like C64 a lot you can make a Youtube clip. If you're a big fan you can make a JS demo. And if you're REALLY a fan you can go make a C64 demo about it. There have been quite a few retro-love releases already, so that if you love a certain platform you shouldn't avoid it by supporting other platforms but code for the platform "that you say you love so much". Something like that :)

As a JS demo it was good, not so sure as to the accuracy of palette and so on. And sometimes demos are about achievements, and there's no achievement in 1MHz effect running in JS on GHz CPUs. (No, I don't think there's a way to make a realistic retro homage demo on such CPUs and tick the achievement box. So who knows what is expected here.)

I like it! I don't mind the C=64 theme nor the over-use of scrollers (because that's how it used to be - so part of the spirit). A serious piece of work!

However: If it only works in one browser...

BB Image

It's not that hard to make a demo run in multiple browsers these days - read the docs (MDN is great!) and test in multiple browsers (you're excused if it doesn't run in IE, but by the look of things I think that MS will be on board too pretty soon).

With that said - keep up the great work!

I'm sorry if I offended any coder with this ;-)

Again, thank you all for the amazing feedback and for welcoming me to pouet. All this makes me really happy. Btw, since you encouraged me with doing some C64 coding, I finally gave it a first try: http://awsm.de/awsm-c64-001/awsm-c64-001.prg
It sure isn't much, but I wouldn't have done this without your support. You guys are great.

if you want a place to drop your "code experiments" and get some (mostly qualifies) feedback on it consider an account over at http://csdb.dk, they are usually very newcomer friendly.
added on the 2015-02-10 16:11:46 by wysiwtf wysiwtf
This is awesome!

BTW it almost works on phones. The one issue, at least on iPhones, is that you can't start playing sounds from a webpage except in response to user input. Once you start them you can then do whatever you want but the first sound has to be made during an input event. This is to prevent random ads from making sounds on your phone if you don't interact with them

As for Firefox, I don't know if this is the only issue but you're calling canvasContext.drawImage with a negative values for sourceX and sourceY. Those should arguably fail in Chrome too but they aren't.
added on the 2015-02-11 07:12:17 by greggman greggman
So just for fun I hacked a quick greasemonkey script to patch the canvas to try to copy chrome's behavior for negative source values. It's here and the demo mostly works with it installed, at least it doesn't crash. There's a few letters missing here and there. I don't think my math is bad in this script so that must be some other area where the behavior between Chrome and FF are different.

@wysiwtf: I applied for csdb, actually more than once. Even created an 'application intro' ( http://www.awsm.de/awsm-c64-002/awsm-c64-002.prg ). Never got anything back, which I learned might be their way of saying 'no'. I would love to become more active in the C64 demo scene, but that is one big door shut right in front of me. If anyone can help about this...

@awsm there seems to be some trouble with your csdb application but there should be no reason not to let you in.
